In my experience, this has not been an issue for the past 10-15 years atleast. Before that there were some problems with few (external) soundcards or random cpu spikes with the mixers.
However, the UX can still improve. Switching audio outputs with multiple outputs like external displays etc is not very smooth or intuitive.
Some bluetooth headsets have issues but I've had those with a mac as well.
